Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 37, Hadith 82

Ibn ‘Umar said: “I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) narrating a hadith, not just once or twice, even seven times, but I heard him saying it more than that. I heard him saying: ‘There was a man called Al-Kifl among the children of Isra’il who did not restrain himself from committing sins. A woman came to him and he gave her sixty Dinar so he could sleep with her. When he sat up from her, as a man sits up from a woman, she began to tremble and cry, so he said: “Why are you crying, did I do something to harm you?” She said: “No. But it is because of what I did, I only did so out of need.” He said: “You did this without having done (it before), so leave me, and it (the money) is for you.” And then he said: “By Allah! I will never disobey Allah after that.” He died during the night and morning came with: ” Indeed Allah has forgiven Al-Kifl” written upon his door.” Other chains report similar narrations.
